The Babe:
Our little pea has been concentrating on bulking up this week...steadily adding body fat and filling out that loose skin. Our babe now weighs about 2 to 3 pounds and measures about 15 inches from head to toe. During this week, the babe will grow another half inch in size. Muscle tone is improving, too, so no need to worry about spaghetti arms! The adrenal glands are functional and starting to produce the all-important androgens (male hormone = testosterone) and estrogens. Not yet terribly cramped for space, so the babe is still very active.
The Parents:
Besides the added 15 pounds, leg cramps, swelling of ankles and feet, shortness of breath (even when NOT moving), lower back pain, the fear of varicose veins and stretchmarks, heartburn and severe lack of sleep...and that's just BEN...things are FANTASTIC!! As a family we are up to six gallons of milk a week...and that does include the nightly milkshake! I have started adding a banana to my milkshakes to make it HEALTHY!! I am still waiting for a cool craving, something other than milk or ketchup.
